Exceeding any delivery period shall not entitle you to compensation or give you the right to cancel the order or to dissolve the agreement, unless the delivery period is so radically overrun that you cannot reasonably be expected to uphold the agreement. In that case, you shall be entitled to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement as far as necessary. Delivery of the products shall take place at the address and time when the products are ready to be sent to you. Artbol.nl items shall be sent in strong cardboard cylinders/boxes.

If you are in default of any payment, Artbol.nl shall be entitled to suspend or to dissolve (the carrying out of) the respective agreement and the associated agreements. If the prices for the offered products and services increase during the period between the order and the carrying out of the order, you shall be entitled to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement within seven days after the price increase announcement by Artbol.nl.

If Artbol.nl allows deviations from these Terms and Conditions of Sale in the short- or long term and whether or not tacitly, such shall not interfere with its right to nevertheless demand direct and strict adherence to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. You may never assert any right based on the fact that Artbol.nl applies these Terms and Conditions of Sale flexibly. If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Sale or any other agreement with Artbol.nl should be at variance with any applicable legal provision, the respective regulation shall be cancelled and replaced by a new legally permissible and comparable provision to be determined by Artbol.nl. Artbol.nl shall be entitled to call in third parties in carrying out your order(s). Artbol.nl shall be entitled to refuse texts written by you in a letter accompanying the deliverables, in order to respect the general standards and values.
